What is PayPal?
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
PayPal has been around a lot longer than Cash App, but it’s changed quite a bit in recent years. While it used to be the only way to send and receive electronic payments, PayPal does so much more.
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
Most recently, PayPal has jumped into the peer-to-peer payment service, enabling users to send and receive money from friends and family. All you need is a user’s email tied to their PayPal account and you can send or request money.

How Does Paypal Work?
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
PayPal’s mobile app is easy to use. You just enter the user’s email address and the payment amount and PayPal does the rest. If someone owes you money, you can send them your PayPal.Me link. This gives users a direct link to send their money to, which takes only seconds especially if they already have a PayPal account.
PayPal works much like Cash App when you set it up. You must sign up for an account and link your bank account (or debit/credit card).

PayPal Features
[/fusion_text][fusion_checklist iconcolor=”#388ea5″ circlecolor=”#f4f4f4″ hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility”][fusion_li_item]
User-friendly app with face ID. In today’s technological times, security is important. PayPal’s mobile app requires a face ID sign-in which limits the risk of hackers getting into your account even if they get a hold of your phone.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]
Granting access to your contacts makes paying friends and family easy. Rather than worrying about mistyping an email address, let PayPal find your friends’ PayPal accounts automatically by granting access to your contacts on your phone.
[/fusion_li_item][fusion_li_item]
You can set up ‘pools of money.’ This works great when you’re buying a group gift or putting money together for a group outing. You set up the pool with a name, end date, and amount. Contributors add funds to the pool and then you use the funds for the intended purpose.

PayPal – PayPal has a history of solid security. They haven’t been a part of the large data breaches and you can set up two-factor authentication to protect your PayPal account even further. PayPal also has a purchase protection program that ensures you receive your goods or services before PayPal charges your bank account or credit card.

[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
Sending and receiving money is the point of apps like Cash App and PayPal and both do a great job of making it easy for users.
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
Cash App – It takes just seconds to send or receive money using the Cash App. You can send money from your Cash App balance or your linked bank account. You can pay friends and family, tip service providers, and pay merchants if they have a Cash App QR code. Both users must have a Cash App account to send and receive payments.
PayPal – All users must have a PayPal account to send and receive funds. The payment process is simple. You can search your contacts or enter an email address manually. Once you enter the amount, you hit send and the funds are sent. When you receive funds, you can keep them in your PayPal account or transfer them to your bank account.
Winner: This one is a tie. Cash App and PayPal are both easy to use to send and receive funds.

Cash App vs PayPal: Fees
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
Payment apps, like Cash App and PayPal have to charge fees to stay in business, but not all tasks incur a fee.
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
Cash App – You can send and receive money free of charge. If you use your Cash App ATM card, though, you’ll pay $2 for each ATM transaction until you have $300 in direct deposits. Then you’ll get 3 free ATM transactions per month. Cash App also charges for ‘Instant Transfers’ versus standard transfers which take 1 – 3 business days. If you fund payments with a credit card, you’ll pay a 1.5% fee. Cash App charges a 3% fee for any transfers made with a credit card.
PayPal – You can send and receive money free of charge if you use your PayPal funds or a linked bank account. Using a credit card to send a payment costs 2.9%, though. Just like Cash App, if you transfer funds on a ‘standard schedule’ it’s free. If you want instant access, PayPal charges a 1% fee with a $10 maximum.
Winner: PayPal has lower fees all around, even if you use a credit card or want instant access to your funds.

Cash App – The Cash Card is a debit card you can use anywhere you’d normally use debit cards. You can opt into Cash Boosts to save money and customize your card to your liking.
PayPal Cash Card – Use your PayPal Cash Card anywhere Mastercard is accepted. You can use it to pay for goods and services or at one of the 33,000 MoneyPass ATMs to get access to your cash (for free).

Cash App – If you have an unverified account (name, birth date, and Social Security number), you can send up to $250 a week and receive $1,000 a month. Once you verify your information, Cash App increases your limits.
PayPal – If you have an unverified account, PayPal may impose limits on how much you can send and receive. If you verified your account, most people can send up to $60,000 at a time, although some senders may be limited to $10,000. There is no limit on how much you can receive unless PayPal thinks something is amiss.
Winner: PayPal has much looser limits for both sending and receiving.

Cash App vs PayPal: Which is Better?
[/fusion_text][fusion_text rule_style=”default” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″]
Which app is right for you depends on your needs. You can only send money to users of either platform, so that limits your options. For example, if you have Cash App but your friend has PayPal, you can’t send money to one another.
It also depends on what you want to do with it. PayPal is great for those who want to use the app to pay for goods or services as most stores accept it today. Cash App is good for those who want to invest their money or take advantage of the Cash Boosts.
